Shrine Empire and Art Exposure will showcase a focused selection of works by Delhi-based artist Amitava in the Spotlight section of Frieze Masters, featuring pieces primarily from a transformative decade in his practice.
The presentation centers on Amitava’s work from the 1970s, a period that marked a significant shift in the artist’s approach. Born in 1947, the year of India’s independence, Amitava came of age during a time of national uncertainty, with Cold War tensions shaping the geopolitical landscape. After graduating from the Delhi College of Art in 1972, he moved away from earlier introspective explorations to examine the complex relationships between human experience and the external world.
